How to Set Default Weapons in the Weapon Wheel for GTA Online

Last Updated: April 26, 2024

Question: There are certain weapons in GTA Online that can’t be dropped, and I do not want to have to cycle through them to get to the gun I prefer to use. Whenever I join a new session in GTA Online, my weapon wheel resets and I have to choose my preferred weapons again. Is there a way for me to select defaults for each weapon slot in GTA Online?

Answer: Although it’s not possible to drop or remove purchased weapons from your inventory in GTA Online, you can set the default weapon in each category. To do this: enter Story Mode, bring up the weapon wheel, and select the weapon you would like to have set as your default in each of the 8 categories. Once you have your defaults set, bring up the in-game phone, select ‘Quick Save’, and create a new save game. From now on, the default weapons you have set for your Story Mode character will be reflected in GTA Online.
